PARKING THE UNIT
Parking the machine
When parking the machine, some precautions are neces-
sary.
Move the machine to a level and firm ground, away from
any soft ground, excavations or poorly shored cavity.
Lower the loader attachment to the ground.
Use the locking pin (if provided) to lock the loader attach-
ment controls.
Place the backhoe attachment in the road travel position.
Place the direction-of-travel lever and gearshift lever in
neutral position.
Immobilize the machine by means of the parking brake.
Completely raise the stabilizers and lock them mechani-
cally.
Stop the engine and remove the starter switch key.
Release the hydraulic pressure by operating the control
levers in all directions.
On hydraulically controlled machines, turn the key to ON
and release the pressure by moving the hydraulic control
levers in all directions.
Place some wedges under the wheels in order to prevent
the machine from moving.
Disconnect the electrical system by disconnecting the bat-
tery master switch.
Make sure that the door and the engine guard are cor-
rectly fastened and check that the fuel tank plug and the
battery compartment are closed.
Lock the operator’s compartment door.
If the machine is parked outdoors, cover the exhaust pipe
so as to protect the engine against damp.
Check that no part of the machine is protruding onto the
public highway. If this cannot be avoided, install signs in
compliance with the relevant regulations.
